Black-Eyed Peas & Cabbage for New Year's

December 30th 2009 20:02

Southern tradition instists on serving black-eyed peas and cabbage on New Year's Day. I never really knew why, until I looked it up online. Apparantly the black-eyed pea tradition comes from Civil War times when the peas were grown mostly to feed livestock. When crops were burned or otherwise destroyed, the peas were ignored, and therefore were considered good luck (because there was nothing else to eat.)

Other traditions say that the peas represent coins, while greens (cabbage in my neck of the woods, but some places use mustard or collard greens instead) represent cash. The more you eat on New Year's Day, the more you will aquire during the year to come.

Whatever the reason, we'll be cooking up a big pot of black-eyed peas, and a big pot of cabbage to eat for our New Year's Day meal. (Or just after midnight, and then again all day!)

Happy Cooking, and Happy New Year!

Sausage Stuffing Balls

December 22nd 2009 21:47

OMG! These are soooooo delicious!

My husband saw something about these on one of the cooking shows he likes to watch. He couldn't remember the details, or even which show it was on (so I can't give any credit) but he remembered the basic recipe.

Fry up some sausage, add stuffing mix and some liquid. Roll into balls, coat with beaten egg, then fine bread crumbs. Fry until golden brown, and enjoy!

This is what I did:

1 # regular breakfast sausage
1 # Italian sausage
1 # ground pork
Large package stuffing mix
2 cups water
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs - beaten
Bread crumbs (about 8 slices bread in the food processor)

Mix/crumble all the meat togeter and cook until well browned. Pour stuffing mix into large mixing bowl. Add meat and liquid. Roll into balls - just smaller than baseball size. Coat with egg, then roll in bread crumbs. Fry in deep fryer just long enough to brown. (About 1 to 1-1/2 minutes) - I did three balls at a time.

I also used the drippings from the meat to make a brown gravy. These were absolutely delicous!

Hubby said I need to use spicy sausage and add chopped green onion next time, but I think they were perfect just as they were!

Happy Cooking!
